Suspected hoodlums on Thursday burgled the office of the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, and carted away the assembly’s mace.
It was learnt that the yet-to-be-identified hoodlums broke into the speaker’s office overnight and stole the official symbol of the legislature.
It was reported that some security agents denied access into the assembly building which is located a few metres away from the Governor’s Office complex in the precinct of the State Secretariat, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, citing orders from above.
According to the spokesman for the Ogun State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident, the coat of the arm has been recovered but the stick is still missing.
The PPRO added that an investigation into the burglary and theft has commenced.
Oyeyemi said, “Yes, there is an unfortunate incident today in the assembly complex. The hoodlums broke into the assembly through the ceiling and removed the official mace of the house. That is why the Commissioner of Police has to go there for an on-the-spot assessment.”
When asked how it was recovered, the PPRO declined comments.
